DUSHANBE, April 18, Asia-Plus — An exhibition formally titled “April Theses”: LENIN & ART timed to coincide with the 138th birthday of Vladimir Lenin will be held at the Bactria Cultural Center in Dushanbe on April 22.
A source at the Bactria Center said that statues of Lenin, portraits of Lenin, busts of Lenin, large canvases depicting the leader of the revolution and even kundals with Lenin as the main figure of Soviet ideological art will put on display “in the exhibition we deemed nostalgic.”
This exhibition is an attempt to reinterpret the political and artistic reality, which has become a distant memory, but at the same time continues to have an effect on the contemporary artistic scene, the source said.
“April Theses” is a manifestation about what Soviet era art means; an integral part of our cultural heritage.
